Hello! Playing again with August Hero Arts kit. I made a galaxy sky background with Distress Oxide inks Faded Jeans, Fossilized Amber, and Wilted Violet on White CS. I used dies to cut the silhouette of the boy on the moon fishing from Black CS and the star from CS inked with Fossilized Amber ink. Sprayed them both with Gold Shimmer Mist from kit. Stamped the sentiment with black ink and embossed with Clear EP. Assembled all on Yellow CS. Used stamp for fishing pole.

Hello! I have been playing with the August Hero Arts kit that I received on Monday. Just for fun, I created this dreamy, celestial theme card using the fancy window cut die and stamps from the kit. I created a watercolor background with watercolor paper inked with Distress Oxide ink Faded Jeans and Salt. Hope the effects of the salt can be seen in the photo. Stamped the star with Distress Ink Fossilized Amber and added some shine with Clearstar pen and Metallic Gold Gelly pen.

Hello! Have you ever created your own Pattern Paper? I did using Photoshop and a single digital image. I used the single rose image from Power Poppy Rose and Chamomile set and arranged 36 roses on a panel 4" x 5.25", colored the roses red (through the magic of Photoshop), and printed this on white CS. I then printed a sentiment and image from Power Poppy Everything Rosy set. I colored the image with Copics and cut with an oval die and placed on a red oval mat. The sentiment was cut with a label die and edged with red ink. I assembled the card using my "Pattern Paper" with a red card base and adding a Green Grosgrain ribbon with a blue thread that picked up colors in the image.

Hello! I have another card made with a paint chip from a local paint store. I created this with GKD stamps from Birds and Blossoms that I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black. Added some color to the flowers with Copics. I embossed the top panel of the chip with a Cuttlebug EF border. Attached to a white card base.

Hello! Some days a card is easier to make than others. I found this card came together easy once I decided to use a large Butterfly stamp from Repeat Impressions. I decided to create the background with tissue paper using a watercoloring method. I used Distress Inks Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, and Squeezed Lemonade to watercolor the tissue paper which I scrunched up and glued to a panel of White CS. I stamped the Repeat Impressions sentiment with Memento Tuxedo black directly to the tissue paper layer. I stamped the Butterfly with same black ink and colored with Memento Markers and fussy cut. Assembled the card with an orange card base following a sketch from the challenge below and added some dew drops and a ring around the butterfly.

Welcome! I recently won some digital images from MHK Designs and just had to use this vintage truck on a card. I printed the truck and 2 of the sentiments from Various Vehicles set on heavy White CS. I printed one of the sentiments in red to add a bit of color. Added black brads to the tires and some glossy accents to the windows. Finished with some score lines at the bottom edge to add more texture. Quick and easy one layer card and a very masculine birthday card for my stash.

Hello! Thechallenge at Mod Squad is to Make a card with Black, White, and One Other Color. Since I wanted to use a Power Poppy stamp (sponsor), I checked my PP stamps to find one that would look good stamped with just one color. I chose a stamp from Sassy Succulents which I stamped with Distress Oxide Peeled Paint on White CS. I stamped a portion of the stamp on the Green Strip with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. ( used masking and Misti to do this). I chose not to fill in the stamped image but wanted the white to show through, but used a Stardust pen on the centers of the succulents. I stamped the sentiment from the same set with the Black ink. The strip on the card is actually a strip of White CS that I inked with the Peeled Paint ink to match the color of the succulent. I used a Black card base to complete the card and also used a Sketch challenge fromCAS(E) this Sketch.

Hello! This one layer card is made with a Gradient Background using Distress Oxide Inks Broken China and Faded Jeans on Watercolor paper. I stamped the GKD Floral Image ( Wild Blossoms set) and sentiment (Hello Friend set) with Memento Paris Dusk. This is a true CAS design....very easy and quick. Was tempted to add embellishments but restrained myself.
